Spiny Box Puffer EXPERT ONLY

The Spiny Box Puffer is also often referred to as the Web Burrfish. It has a tan-to-yellow body, with dark spots and small fixed spines that help keep it safe from bigger predatory fish. Its teeth actually form the result of a fused beak-like structure. A 180-gallon or bigger aquarium is sufficient, provided that it's a tank that is exclusively for fish with ample room to swim in. It has been known to nibble at slow-moving and long-finned fish. However, it is not aggressive with other fish within its own family. It is known to eat invertebrates within a reef aquarium. The spiny box puffer requires an extensive diet of meaty food items, including the clams, squid, and krill as well as hard-shelled shrimp, to aid in the wear and tear of their expanding teeth.
